Storm doors are fixtures that can help bolster the home’s security, energy efficiency and curb appeal. Weather-resistance, however, is their most notable quality. Though optional, having them installed helps ensure the longevity and beauty of entry door systems. This article takes a closer look at the important components that enable storm doors to withstand the elements.
Thick Door Frames
Storm doors have thick framing to ensure their toughness and strength in protecting entry doors against harsh weather conditions. Denting and corrosion are minimal with this noteworthy feature.
Tempered Glass
This type of glass is not like the ordinary kind that shatters into small and sharp shards when broken. Instead, it crumbles into large granules without the jaggedness that may cause a person to get injured. This component is essential for storm doors since it can resist damage from impact better than regular glass.
Fade-Resistant Finish
Exposure to the elements doesn’t matter for some storm doors, so much so that they are still able to retain their beauty. They are, in fact, painted and finished to resist fading and scratching. That’s one way to know that these doors don’t require much maintenance.
